"Everything I tell you is a lie. Every question I ask is a trick. You will find no truth in me."
―Vergere, to Jacen Solo
Vergere (pronounced /vɚ'ʒɪɹ/) was a Fosh female Jedi Knight turned Sith in the waning years of the Galactic Republic. She was the former Padawan of Jedi Master Thracia Cho Leem and disappeared in 30 BBY, finding the Yuuzhan Vong on Zonama Sekot and secretly living with them for half a century.
During the time of the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Vergere reappeared and tortured Jacen Solo, wanting to turn him into a future Sith apprentice. She was hunted by the New Republic and hid herself, helping Warmaster Tsavong Lah and other Yuuzhan Vong as well as Solo. At the climactic Battle of Ebaq 9, she returned to the light side of the Force and sacrificed herself, killing many Yuuzhan Vong to save Solo.
By 40 ABY, the Sith revealed that Vergere had also, secretly, been one of them. Eventually, Vergere's training helped turn Jacen into Darth Caedus, the Dark Lord of the Sith.
Personality and traits
Vergere-NEGTC
Vergere
Vergere generally preferred to listen but would speak about things she felt were important. During her youth, Vergere was described as a rebellious rogue, who was known to study doctrine that was not approved of by most Jedi and she eventually caught the attention of Darth Sidious. However, she tried to assassinate Sidious after discovering the extent of his megalomania and also persuaded the Yuuzhan Vong to leave Zonama Sekot.[5]
As Jacen Solo's mentor, Vergere was a paradoxical being, being both a torturer and motherly figure and a deceiver and mentor to Jacen Solo. She actually admitted to Jacen Solo that she was a liar and a trickster and claimed that Solo would find no truth in her, while also encouraging Jacen to reach conclusions regarding his role in the pantheon of Force users on his own: "choose, and act". Her moral ambiguity kept Jacen on his toes; after forcing Jacen to his mental and physical limit during the boy's extended tenure as her captive, she would disarm him with her warm and inviting touch and aura.
She was not sadistic and expressed regret at having to torture Jacen Solo but believed it was necessary to teach him the "truth" about the Force.[1] Though Vergere was known to use torture at times, notably on Jacen Solo and A'Sharad Hett, Vergere also didn't agree with A'Sharad Hett's suggestion to recreate the Sith Order under the Rule of One, instead believing in Darth Bane's Rule of Two.
Powers and abilities
Like others of her species, Vergere possessed the ability to use her tears in a variety of ways, including as an antidote against various poisons and disease, as well as its own brand of poison.
During her youth, Vergere was trained as a Jedi Consular and therefore preferred to focus on her Force powers, though she was able to wield a lightsaber with enough skill to use a lightsaber to block a bolt of Jaina's lightning and flee the battle. She possessed the ability to shrink her presence in the Force, making her almost undetectable to Force Sense and used this ability after meeting the Yuuzhan Vong. Vergere was also notable for being able to use the very rare Sever Force power, utilizing it on Jacen Solo during his time as her captive and forcing him to rely on his innate emphatic abilities.
Despite turning to the dark side, Vergere was able to become a Force Ghost after her death.
